Seismic rehabilitation is crucial to extend the nominal service life and help reduce the
seismic losses of reinforced concrete precast industrial buildings. Along with traditional …

Reinforced concrete structures under earthquakes present nonlinear behavior with cracking
evolution and plastic strains that can lead to failure due to large displacements with …

Brazil is located in a stable continental region where earthquakes are infrequent and, as
such, there is a scarcity of studies on seismic risk assessment and a current need to make …

Eurocode 8 is undergoing revisions, including introducing new ductility classes and
displacement-based design methods alongside traditional force-based ones. Additionally …

While earthquakes pose a threat to both museum buildings and collections, the latter can be
especially vulnerable. Seismic damage to museum collections can be minimized by …

The socio-economic and political impact of recent earthquakes proved the urgent need to
develop a comprehensive methodology for creating earthquake scenarios and conducting …

Seismic safety of the museum artifacts has become increasingly more important as
museums have continued to build their collections. Although the seismic risk of artifacts can …

Seismic fragility curves represent an advanced tool for assessing seismic capacity of
structures according to the performance-based earthquake engineering (PBEE) approach …

Precast concrete (PC) structures have many advantages, but their use in the construction of
middle-to high-rise buildings is limited. The construction of PC structures requires skills in …

The ferocious forces imposed by earthquakes on the structures can cause great structural
and non-structural losses, if not properly planned and managed. It has been revealed that …
